As the Taliban captures Afghanistan, youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has expressed her worry towards women, minorities and human rights advocates.
Malala was shot by the terrorist group in 2012 for her education campaigns and gender equality campaigns for girls in her native Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northwest Pakistan, where the local Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan had at times banned girls from attending school.

Taliban fighters on Sunday have infiltrated the outskirts of Kabul, after workers in fear left the government offices and helicopters were seen landing in the US embassy in the capital of Afghanistan. This further tightens the militant organization's control in the war-torn country. The officials have confirmed that the Taliban terrorists have occupied three districts of Kabul - Kalakan, Qarabagh, and Paghman.
The invaders later vowed not to take the capital forcibly as inconsistent gunfire could be heard in the capital. "Nobody's life, property and pride will be hurt and the existence of the residents of Kabul won't be in danger," the Taliban said.
